Free for students and educators — one year
Verified students, educators and institutions under agreement get all four Berk Studio designers (Web, AI Model, Embedded, CAD) free for 365 days. The education edition is watermarked and non-commercial; you can re-apply when it expires.
Three routes
Individual applications are verified with an academic e-mail and a document; institutions get bulk keys from a list.
Secondary · high school · college · graduate
Academic e-mail (.edu, .ac.xx or your institution's domain) + a current enrolment document (PDF or photo). The key is sent to your academic address. Younger students without an academic address may apply through a teacher.
Teacher · lecturer
Academic e-mail + staff ID or appointment letter. Educators may also request one extra license per computer in the school's computer lab (state the number of machines). For your students, use the institution route.
School · university · agreement
An authorised person sends the student/staff list using our spreadsheet template; keys are generated in one batch and returned mapped to the list. Perpetual licenses and quotas are set by agreement.
What the education edition is — and is not
- ✓Scope: Web, AI Model, Embedded and CAD designers; 365 days; 1 seat. The core edition is free for everyone anyway.
- ✓Watermark: outputs carry an “Education edition — not for commercial use” mark; coursework, theses, teaching and research are fine.
- ✓No commercial use: products sold, client work or revenue-generating projects need a regular subscription.
- ✓Verification: the document is used only for eligibility and deleted after the decision (see Privacy Policy).
- ✓Renewal: re-apply with a current document when the year ends; graduates move to an individual subscription.
Student / educator form
Applications go to info@berk-tech.com; after an eligibility check the license key is sent to your academic e-mail (usually within 2 business days).
Bulk licenses for schools and universities

- ✓2. Send it with a letter on institutional letterhead to info@berk-tech.com (institution, contact person, headcount).
- ✓3. The list comes back with institution-tagged keys (e.g.
